I would not entirely compare it to TypeScript. Due to pattern matching, legacy elixir will probably come out roughly 50% typed (extrapolating from my own usage, I'm not sure the accuracy of this number). Then since vanilla elixir is getting types (not a separate TypeElixir) I would venture anything actively maintained will get typed relatively quickly.

I personally do not like type systems, and still code in JS, not TS. Any JS artifacts I produce are untyped. Yet even my Elixir-code is nearly type ready.

So while TS is fighting an uphill battle, I think Elixir is working downhill.
